You touch on a good point and that is wheel design and manufacture has a lot to do with strength and durability.
Some wheel designs are obviously more prone to problems than others. The more spindley and the more "air" there is in the design the more likely it is to give in to the stress of use than a more robust design. Add to this cast vs forged and material quality to the mix and the use will dictate both the budget and the design of the wheel to be purchased.
Personally I like the older style wheels with a bit less air than the newer styles. Also I have decided to stick with my 17" wheels and not go to the 18" wheels due to the poor quality of the pavement in my rural area.
